Chapter 142 - The Little Boy And The Egg

"And what does that egg has to do with this kid?" Li Ming asked with raised eyebrows.

The scene looked like two of them (Li Ming and the Banshee) could slaughter each other at any moment, but I unbelievingly, both of them stayed at a proper distance from each other, and neither of them attacked the other.

Li Ming waited patiently for the Banshee to answer her question and tell her more about the kid and that purple light egg.

Suddenly the temperature decreased and a white silvery light started surrounding the Banshee, or better to say the Seer in this case.

"Oh no! Not again, please! At least not now!" Li Ming was almost at the edge of whining when she realized what was going to happen in the very next few seconds.

She hated these moments. In the past ten years in which she was bound with the Seer (Banshee), she had come across such situations about four times, and every time she cursed herself for being present at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Little did she know that she never had a choice in this case. She was present there at that very exact time because she was meant to.

And similarly, she was going to witness the fifth prophecy of her life which was about the little kid.

It was not exactly a prophecy but the powers of a seer which allowed them to see the future of certain people at certain times. 

The only difference between a prophecy and a seer's future sight was that the second one could be changed if planned correctly while the first one, prophecy, would always come true no matter how much someone tried to change it.

As the silver light completely engulfed the woman in its embrace, she finally opened her mouth and let out words that sounded like at least five to six people were speaking at the same time.

"That egg has everything to do with this kid and his future. The egg would become one of the most important parts of his life. He will be bound to it. He's born to rule, to shine, and brighten his world but to reach that stage, he will need to go through various trials. His path to his glory won't be easy. He will meet the most important person in his life at one of the lowest stages of his life. They both will bring their world to higher stages and will make it shine by pulling it out of the darkness that has surrounded it. May they find those who will be able to bond with these two as strongly as they both will be bonded to each other."

The last sentence came out in a soft whisper and trust our female lead on this one, that it didn't sound good or positive even a single bit.

"What did I say this time?" 

This was the very first question that the Banshee asked after coming back to her senses.

"Just rewind your memory and see for yourself. I'm in no mood to repeat your words which are still ringing in my head." Li Ming replied dryly as she lightly rubbed her temples.

"You are really something, Win! You never tell me anything that I say during these future sighting episodes and I always have to rewind my memory to see what stupid words I let out of my pretty mouth." The Banshee scoffed at the little girl with an angry tone.

Li Ming gave her meanest look to the woman. Her expressions were only implying one thought to the Banshee and that was 'are you fucking serious, woman?' 

"Fine! Just give me a second!" 

The half banshee, half-ghost, and half seer woman decided to give up on fighting with the young girl because she knew it very well that Li Ming was not going to tell her anything.

[A/N: Is that even considered half? How can she be half when she's divided into three categories? *sigh* this is too hard!]

There was silence for the next few minutes as the Banshee replayed her memory while Li Ming sat there on the floor. Her fingers were trying to separate the knots that had formed in the long hair of the kid.

The kid was malnourished which was not exactly a surprise for Li Ming. His clothes and shoes were about to fall apart at any moment and his body was covered in dirt.

But under all that dirt and rags, was a little boy who was born to shine brightly. And Li Ming could tell that all that kid needed was to open his beautiful eyes and everyone would fall in love with him. She just wished that he became the right person to deserve such a beautiful fate.

Little did she knew that she was so wrong about the beautiful eyes of the little kid. Those beautiful globes that were supposed to become the source of love, would become the bane of his life.

"Oh my Goodness! That was such an intense one. Looks like this kid has hell to pass and heaven to achieve." 

The Banshee let out a deep sigh as she opened her eyes after watching the full replay of her own show.

"Should I think that this kid was sent here in this world only for your future sight?" Li Ming asked the woman, though it was clear from her tone that she was mocking the banshee.

One of Li Ming's way to show that she was getting impatient.

The woman in question only rolled her eyebrows in reply but when she was attacked by the powerful glare of the mage queen, she immediately decided to speak.

"Just like I said before, there's a reason behind this kid being here in this world and also for him to meet you out of all people in this Immortal world. And before you ask, yeah I'm going to explain everything to you." 

Li Ming was actually going to interrupt the Banshee when the latter said the last sentence and made her (Li Ming) shut her mouth. 

"That purple glowing egg is connected with this kid somehow. I don't know much about the details but the egg also doesn't belong to this world. What's the reason behind its presence in this world, I seriously don't have any idea. But the egg was going to stay in this world for the next few ten thousand of years or so, and you will keep guarding it until then. When the right time will arrive, the egg will return to its rightful owner." The woman explained.

On the other hand, Li Ming's jaw was lying on the floor as the girl was trying to digest the words that had come out of the mouth of the woman.

"A few ten thousand years???" 

Li Ming almost shouted out these words as she stared at the woman with huge eyes.

"If you died before that, I'm sure the fate will find a new guardian for the egg. So, don't worry about it." The woman replied while shaking her hands in dismissal.

Li Ming wasn't sure which news shook her the most, the first one where she was going to live for a few thousand years, or the second one where she wasn't able to live for such a long period?

Back on the Earth, the Supernatural community was also considered immortals but that was based on the fact that it was easy to kill them and most of them lived up to a few hundred years, sometimes even thousands. Even the nymphs were supposed to live for two thousand years at maximum, while the nymphs in the Enchanted Magik Forests are around millenniums old.

The true difference between Supernaturals and Immortals were seen here, in their average lifespans. The average lifespan of a supernatural could be around five thousand years, while the average lifespan of the Immortals was around fifty thousand years.

Li Ming shook her head and tried to listen carefully to whatever the Banshee was saying.

"Can you bring the egg out here?" 

The banshee asked her and Li Mung shrugged her shoulders in reply.

"I have no idea, to be honest. Didn't try it before."

The Banshee appeared like she was going to retort back but at the last moment, she changed her mind and her words.

"Maybe you should try it now?" She suggested Li Ming with a tender voice, at least it was supposed to be tender.  

"Okay. Give me a minute. I'll try it." Li Ming replied and retracted her fingers out of the boy's hair which looked a lot smoother than before.

She closed her eyes and let her hands rest on her knees beside the head of the little bit which she had pulled into her lap at some point during the prophecy.

A few seconds later, a bright purple light shone a few inches above the heart of the little kid and slowly the egg started forming in the very middle of that bright globe of light.

Within forty seconds, the purple shining egg was floating a few inches above the heart of the little kid.

But this was just the starting, there's more to come!!
